Nicky Butt:

"It's the first time I have been on the losing side in a
derby game and it is something you don't want to experience
again, as well as being a United fan it's one of those
things which is horrible to live with but somehow we have
got to move on.

"It definitely hurts. It's been horrible since it happened
but the club is big enough to move on from it. Obviously the
fans are going to be in for it for a long, long, time like
they were the last time they beat us, but we have to get on
with it and put it behind us.

"It's a position the players don't want to be in but we
haven't played well all season really. We got knocked out of
Europe then to top it off we got beat by our local rivals
which is not nice at all so it was a nightmare, a truly
terrible week."
